turbapca and Loud ezcIsGoations in {
woman's voice were heard from the yes
thule.
Several gentlemen hurried out art
found a handsome little daT!i-eyed Jewes:
on the point OF failing in faint. The
first to reach her side recoiled upon see

flashing nom the folds OF her dress, but
he recovered himself and caught the
fainting wo1oan with one arm, while
with the other he snatched the pisto

! Oppenheimer was sent to her assistance,
and whisper in the ear of the bride
groom led him to hastily y excuse him
self fer q moment and hurry after the
physician.
When, with the flush of his new honor

ried man entered the chamber, he was
confronted BY q figure from which be
recoi!ed in evident terror, and be would
have made precipitate flight had not
the burning words of the woman held
MIN IS by spell. With painting breath
md flashing eyes, cne hapd upon her
heaving breast and the other pointing
as if to transtix tue bridegroom, she
cried: s'You have broken ny heart and
ruined ny lie, aud now you cast me
into The world without name" With
this her strength failed, and she sank
back upon the bed II q swoon.
The three men who had been witness
es Of this scene hsstiiy pushed Scheyer
from the room, telling him to go back
and conduct himself as it nothing hap
pened; they would take care of the wo-
nan. Scheyer fingered in the hall a
moment TO collect his scattered faculties,
and went back TO the side OF the girl
who Lad Just become his wife. The
guests were quieted with the assurance
that the fainting woman had been sent
home ii carriage.
Tie music struck up, the dance went
On, and JOY Was apparently uncontinsd.
This occurred little after Z O'Clock. In
few moments the woman had recover
ed sufficiently to be conducted to her
carriage and driven to her hotel in East
1lth street. arriving there about s
o'clock she spenr the next hour and q
half IN writing out the story of her rela-
lions with Hermann Scheyer.
From this statement and some cEp
pings from Montreal newspapers it ap-
pears that she had been betrayed by
Schever under promise Of marriage i'll
Montreal over two years ago. Her name
is Viola Cohen and she is the daughter
oi a wsn-to-do decorator. Some months
after, finding that Scheyer did not IL
tend to fulfill bis promise, size laid IN
wait for him on the street and shot him,
inhicting, however, only slight abrasion
OF the arm. With the noise of the re-
port she tainted away, and when she
again recovered consciousness found
herself in a hospital ward, her baby by
her side. No prosecution followed her
attempt upon Scheyer's life, and she was
allowed upon recovery to leave the
hospital without moiestation. A few
weeks after this the child was spiriteI
away mysteriously, and though the
mother has sought it necessarily, she has
not seen it since.
Learning & few days ago that Scheyer
had gone to New York to be married to
Miss Beckel, Miss Cohen determined if
possible to prevent the ceremony. With
cut stopping to pack even satchel she
came here, arriving Sunday morning and
going at once to hotel. There she re-
manned all Day, awaiting the time fixed
for the ceremony, when she intended to
appear and proclaim her wrongs. This,
according to Jewish customs, would hsre
prevented the marriage. But she came
too late. The ceremony had been fin
ished, and according to the Jaw Hermann
Scheyer and Irene Beckel were man and
wife.
AtJ.3O O'Clock Miss Cohen started for
Boston on her way back to Montreal,
still vowing a speedy vengeance upon
Scbeyer. Il the meantime the wedding
festivities went on at Vienna Hall.
Shortly after midnight the bride and
groom bade their friends goodbye and
retired to their hotel, which they left at
an early hour fer their future home in
Montreal.
He Felt Grateful.
